Low Carb Shrimp Scampi

I’m cranky and stressed so clearly it’s time to cook because that is what relaxes me. But because I’m cranky, it also needs to be simple.

I wanted to make something relatively high in protein and fat, low in carbs but also family friendly because I don’t feel like making something else for a son who is selective about what he eats. This dish went together quickly and definitely doesn’t need an Instant Pot, although that’s how I made mine.

When we eat this Low Carb Shrimp Scampi, my husband and I will eat very little of the pasta, and lots of sauce and shrimp. My son can enjoy all the pasta he wants and everyone can be happy. Nutritionally, this packs quite a hefty protein punch, which means hopefully I’ll stay full for longer, and so be less cranky. Fingers crossed!

I made this recipe from the Keto IP Cookbook and it was delicious! The cookbook called for zucchini noodles, and I sauteed them separately with some minced onion and added dollop of sour cream. Tasty! And I used thawed shrimp since I wanted to remove the shells. I added some chopped parsley at the end for garnish. I’ll definitely make this again!

We just made the Creamy Shrimp Scampi from Urvashi’s Keto book. The sauce was amazing. The only change we made was, we didn’t have any zucchini so we made it without. After everything was done, we removed the shrimp and sauce to a bowl. Turned the IP to saute and heated some chopped mushrooms. Once heated through, we added the mushrooms to the shrimp bowl and served. Yummers!

I made this from the new Keto Instant Pot Cookbook & the flavor is amazing. However, there’s a mistake in the Cookbook: it subs zucchini noodles instead of the pasta, but the instructions say to put the noodles in with the frozen shrimp & then pressure cook. This essentially liquifies the zucchini. We enjoyed the result as a bisque. The cookbook version does list the zucchini last & finally says to portion it out before topping with the scampi, so it’s just the step 2 cooking that is incorrect. I’m looking forward to trying this again.
